Pat Riley has said he wants the Heat to join the exclusive back to back club that includes the Lakers (x3), Pistons, Bulls (x2) & Rockets. Repeating in an era that includes a global talent pool, a 3pt line, salary cap and a league of more than 10 teams with a long and draining playoff conference series even before getting to the Finals has shown how hard this feat is.

Good luck Pat Riley, but there is a reason this club is exclusive. Only the best of the best make it.

Yes, winning back to back titles is definitely the pinnacle of any team in today's NBA. This is why the Lakers are considered the greatetst NBA franchise and why Kobe is the most popular player in the league. They have won back to back titles more consistently than any other team and remain the focal point for all fans of the NBA. Heck, the Lakers get talked about more than the Celtics on this board, which just proves the point. In today's day and age, it is all about what have you done for me lately, NOT what have you done for me more than 40 years ago. LMAO!!!

Why don't the Celtics back to back titles in that era count but those titles that Los Ang... Ahem, Minneapolis won back then count towards your total number of titles? Can't have it both ways

Lately huh? Let's also talk about how MWP and Andrew Bynum attempt to take out multiple players and Kobe's rape case then.

MWP is a good role modelBynum is wonderful role modelAnd Kobe was exonerated from those accusations

Snake, you know as well I that even during the season the Lakers get attention. Nothing to be ashamed of, just a fact.

In Response to Re: Heat want to join exclusive back to back club. : Pay no attention to the attention-seeking juvenile. Anyone who thinks Bynum is a good role model is either 15, starved for attention, or both. One thing is, though, he is NOT serious!!Posted by hedleylamarr

Tell me what parents would not want their children to help others the way that Bynum does? Tell me what parents would not their children to make millions of dollars?

Please refrain from the personal attacks before I report you or place you on ignore.

In Response to Re: Heat want to join exclusive back to back club. : PLEASE put me on ignore. Hey, did Stern suspend MWP for that vicious elbow on Harden? Becuase YOU said he didn't!! How's that working for you?Posted by hedleylamarr

Sadly for the Lakers they were one of those teams and had to endure getting humilated by the Celtics Seven times.

You have a point, just as you being on a Celtics forum shows that you are giving the Celtics attention.

Touche' my friend. I was waiting for someone as witty as myself to respond.

In Response to Re: Heat want to join exclusive back to back club. : I know who Stu Jackson is, fool. Are you so gullible as to NOT believe he can supercede Jackson whenever he feels like it. I gave you THREE links, you tool. Give me ONE, or admit you're wrong, or get out my face!!Posted by hedleylamarr

Wow! Your links are WEAK and everyone always always refers to the commisioner as he is the head honcho. Although, Stu Jackson still makes the suspension decisions for NBA players and always has. You must that he has to get permission on all of his decisions and have David Stern approve or disapprove? Why would Stu Jackson want to make decisions if they were just to be over-ruled? Makes very little sense, kind of like your argument. Nice try, but as always you lose.

In Response to Re: Heat want to join exclusive back to back club. : He does have to get approval. That is what DEPUTY director means, you twit! This was the playoffs, and this was a very big deal. I'm quite certain you have a STRONG link to back up your argument. Otherwise, either admit you're wrong or leave me alone, I've backed up everything I've said, while you have just provided resumes!Posted by hedleylamarr

Look child, I have shown you this link numerous times, and I have no idea where you come up with Deputy Director, but Stu Jackson is not a deputy director, he is although the NBA's Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations.

OF course, the much more exclusive club to be in is the back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back club, which only has one member!!! Good luck joining that one, in ANY era.Posted by no1celticsfan

It's easy to do back 8x when you're essentially playing by yourself. That era doesn't even count, the age of Henry Finkle, Leroy Ellis and Darrell Imhoff at center.
